  • Title: Treatment of GVHD after blood transfusion.
    Author: Sakuma H, Kikuta A, Suzuki H.
    Journal: Fukushima J Med Sci; 1993 Dec; 39(2):113-6. PubMed ID: 7927134.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we summarize methods of treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allo bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with drugs, which could be applied to the treatment of GVHD after blood transfusion. Corticosteroid, ATG, and cyclosporine have generally been used for the treatment of GVHD after allo BMT. Some of the immunosuppressive drugs, which are newly developed, are useful too. In future, anti-TNF alpha antibodies and anti-IL6 antibodies could be effective in patients with GVHD.
